Harold Leroy King went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Oct. 16th, 2020. He was born in Crawford, Nebraska and spent his whole childhood there until he was married. He graduated from Chadron State College with a Bachelor's degree in math. He and Mary met at Chadron State and then were married on June 3rd, 1962 in Edgemont, SD. They had three wonderful children: Alan Forbes, Scott David and Tamara Diane. They were all born in the Gering, Nebraska area. Harold taught school in Morrill, Nebraska for two years. In the summer of 1964 they moved to the Omaha area where Harold was trained to be a salesman for Mckesson and Robbins Pharmaceutical Company. He loved working with all the different Pharmacists while traveling all over western Nebraska.

His family was always the most important thing to him. In the early 1970’s the family moved once again back to Omaha and then to Sioux City, IA for just nine months. Iowa was a turning point in all their lives. He and Mary gave their lives to the Lord and knew Jesus as their personal Savior. The children could see the change in them overnight and they were filled with joy to know that their sins were taken to the cross and all they had to do was to believe that Jesus did this for them out of His great love for mankind. The children all became Christians themselves over the years and knew that their Savior would do the same for anyone who just believed.

The family spent almost thirty years in Littleton, Colorado where Harold went to be Sales Manager of the Denver office for McKesson. When he left McKesson and went to work in the Home Office at Safeway Corporation. He filled many different positions at Safeway, he designed their Pharmacies, he was a Category Manager, he was in charge of non-food items, a buyer and merchandiser. In the 29 years we lived in Littleton; children went through school, got married; grandchildren were born, loved and spoiled. Many came on “Date Night” and came on yearly camping trips. Harold and Mary spent years camping; many times with family and friends. Because of their great love of camping and the beautiful mountains, Harold and Mary spent many years trying to find the perfect spot to retire.

In Dec. 2003, Harold and Mary moved to the Glacier View area northwest of Fort Collins to live in their dream home on the hillside overlooking a beautiful meadow. They quickly found a church home in Morning Star Church in Red Feather Lakes. They had nine wonderful years in the area and were blessed with so many wonderful friends & pastors. Harold was on the Morning Star Community Church board many times and served as an elder as well. In 2012 they lost their house in the High Park Fire and decided to move to Wellington and had a home built in that community. Harold and Mary were delighted when the great grandchildren came along.
